Longing for Spring
£6.00
I designed this glove for those who love cats. It features a cable cuff inspired by flowing grass and Fair Isle colourwork showcasing red and California orange poppies. Try experimenting with different colour combinations in the cat motif and flower sections to evoke the spirit of each season. Whether you’re treating yourself or surprising a fellow cat lover, these gloves make a beautifully personal and heartfelt gift.
Construction
The gloves are worked from the bottom up. The cuff is knitted with cable technique, and the main part is worked in Fir Isle technique using 2 colours.
